Selecting a Boot Device
You specify the boot device by setting an OpenBoot configuration variable called
boot-device
. The default setting of this variable is
disk net
. Because of this
setting, the firmware first attempts to boot from the system hard drive, and if that
fails, from the on-board NET0 Gigabit Ethernet interface.
This procedure assumes that you are familiar with the OpenBoot firmware and that
you know how to enter the OpenBoot environment. For more information, see the
SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Administration Guide
.
Note –
The serial management port on the ILOM card is preconfigured as the default
system console port. For more information, see the
SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220
Servers Overview
.
If you want to boot from a network, you must connect the network interface to the
network.
